Derek "Deek" Diedricksen giving a side tutorial on using a framing square....

We keep getting asked to do another one, so here goes!

30+ contact hours of learning, building, designing, and networking

Each previous workshop has SOLD OUT, as we limit the number of attendees to around 24 or so to keep things intimate and to be able to give individual attention- if interested, secure your spot sooner than later....

The Diedricksen Brothers (Deek and Dustin)

with Paul "Touks" LaCivita

AND a roster of guest speakers!

--------------

"YOUR
chance to build, work, and design alongside an HGTV Host, a Salvage
Addict/Pro, an Environmental Engineer and House Designer, and many other
tiny house pros (not to mention our guest speakers and tours)! BUILD a tiny cabin that will be showcased in an
upcoming book, in a video tour (for "Tiny Yellow House") and
Relaxshacks.com, and beyond!" MEET and Network with a tiny house enthusiasts- ones who just may help you with your eventual project, and even CAMP OUT on the premises!

"Tiny House Building Campout #5" is a HANDS-ON/get dirty
workshop, a THREE day (and night) event (a fri-sun, but if you can only make the
sat and sun, you'll be fine, we'll get you up to speed on what went down Friday). NOVEMBER 15, 16, and 17th are the dates- rain or shine. There will be LOTS of hands-on
building, as we work on a small group build together, campfire
discussions (making each day FAR more involved than a mere 9-5
workshop), slideshows, live demos, a good deal of focus on building for
less, and with recycled materials, AND Dustin Diedricksen will cohost
this event again- he's an environmental engineer and designer. Paul
"Touks" LaCivita, a scrapper/salvager extraordinaire, will also be part
of the team that helps to construct our weekend project. Add in a
pizza-by-bonfire mixer, a tour of five of Deek's micro cabins, and in
depth look into his salvage techniques and stash, AND a field trip to a
tiny house (THE first built (EVER) Tumbleweed Tiny House), and it all
makes for one heck of a LOADED weekend of learning, actual contact
hours, brainstorming, designing and problem solving on the fly!

GUEST SPEAKERS....

CHRIS HAYNES- A tiny house dweller who has built BOTH a Tumbleweed XS AND a Tumbleweed Bodega! Chris will talk about his super-insulated home, and set-up a small solar array/system for us.

JAN KENNEY (from PA)- Jan lives in one of THE SMALLEST HOUSES on the scene (formerly the home of Gregory Paul Johnson). There's a lot to be learned from her stories of living in a space under 100 square feet in size. She's super fun and spunky- you'll love her!

VERA STRUCK- Vera is the impetus behind an in-the-works, mobile, educational, tiny-house-classroom on wheels that she has dubbed "The Silver Bullet"- she also makes some of the best darn pickles I've ever had. (Hint, hint, Vera....)

AND MORE TBA....

The Writing Retreat/Greenhouse- this one's within sight of the workshop locale too....

We'll ALSO cover...

Framing, deck building, alternative
materials, pallet dismantling and construction-use, site selection,
preparing for a build, a few post setting methods (for the base of your
cabin), the dos and don'ts of building, safety, "redneck shortcut" tips, solar off-grid systems, and the overall weekend will give you a chance to pick the
brains of several tiny house builders, bloggers, authors, geeks, and
media hosts, on a one on one basis. Come with questions! BRING your tiny house plans to have them looked over too!

VISIT THIS CABIN (and many others)- a budget shed-conversion project Deek did for HGTV

Workshop includes Friday's pizza bonfire (we won't light pizzas on fire, we'll eat them...just in case...), snacks and drinks
for the three days, course materials/packets, the provision of tools,
and more. Camping on the premises is also a possibility.

There are hotels nearby, and Canton, MA is easily accessible from
Boston/Logan airport. Oftentimes, attendees can pool together for rides
too.

Cancellations- we can offer full refunds if you cancel before one month of the workshop. Beyond that we will gladly offer you a credit to take any other workshop that we host, but cannot offer a refund. This is standard for many workshops.

Hello,I am very interested in attending your workshop this November but I am a student who is quite strapped for cash. Do you offer any student discounts or would you be willing to do a work exchange of some sort?

Hello Derek. I love all of the tiny homes and the movement. I just bought ground and would like to find someone in my area of rural Pa, who is familiar with tiny homes, to built a tiny home that would have the sleeping area on the main level, is handicapped accessible and large enough to use my wheelchair when I need it. I also want to make it big enough (400-500) to have my washer and dryer in. I would appreciate any ideas you might have. Thank you for all your ideas and info on your web site.
